The memory of Sergio Ramelli
The figure of Sergio Ramelli, a young militant of the Fronte della Gioventù, continues to spark debate and reflection in Italy. Killed in 1975 in Milan, his murder represents a painful chapter in our history, a political crime that marked an era of violence and intolerance. Recently, during a ceremony in Catanzaro, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Wanda Ferro, underlined the importance of not forgetting his story, stating that shared memory is essential to building a more just and inclusive society.
The Value of Shared Memory
Wanda Ferro highlighted how memory should not be selective or instrumental. Remembering Sergio Ramelli means recognizing the value of freedom of thought and expression. His death, which occurred in a context of ideological hatred, reminds us that democracy is defended through dialogue and not with violence. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to educate new generations to respect the ideas of others, so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated.
Intolerance and freedom of expression
Even though decades have passed, signs of intolerance continue to manifest themselves in our society. Ideological censorship and imposed silence are forms of cultural violence that threaten free debate. In some Italian universities, we are witnessing attempts to limit freedom of expression, with groups deciding who can speak and who must remain silent. It is essential to oppose these dynamics, promoting an environment in which every voice can be heard and respected.
A gesture of justice and truth
Naming a public garden after Sergio Ramelli is not only a symbolic act, but a gesture of justice and truth. It means recognizing that even among the victims of political violence there were young people from the right, whose memory has often been neglected. Remembering Sergio also means educating young people about the costs of ideological hatred and the importance of dialogue. Only through historical memory can we build a better future, free from prejudice and division.
